The cricket teams from the Luton campus of the University of Bedfordshire looked and played the part this season.

Fresh from sponsorship from the University’s marketing department of sweaters for both the first and second elevens, the top team went on a winning run before a weakened side was beaten in the knockout stages of the cup competition.

They recovered from a poor start to win four out of five matches to finish runners-up in their league. A depleted team was eventually beaten in the knockout cup quarter-finals by Nottingham Trent University.

Former skipper Mohammad Faisal Khan was appointed as the Luton campus’ new coach this season and Omer Nahian was first team captain.

Faisal, who attained his Masters degree from Bedfordshire, previously captained the University cricket team in 2007 to the league title. They also won the league in 2008 and 2009.
